The Painted Street of Melbourne

A look at Melbourne's famous street art

· Art Exhibits,Australia

Whether you're a fan of street art or think it's just destructive graffiti. There's no denying its presence in Melbourne. Nowadays the city has about 28 lanes and alleys, where it's existence is permitted. Saturday I had the pleasure of taking a 3-hour walking tour of the town with one of these artists. We walked past little nooks near trash cans, were pointed to small sculptures on curves, and stood to admire large works in car parks. The tour ended at Blender studios where we stopped for refreshments and a look around the artists' workspaces. It was one of the most unique tours I've taken and I strongly recommend it.
